When ACPI is enabled, it works fine but the keyboard doesn't work 
AFAIK, i. e., PS/2 port is not probed.  However you can login from

This is well known bug in Xorg driver.

nVidia's binary driver doesn't have this bug but it is not available

DRI doesn't work because there is no open source driver.

nVidia's own driver works fine for FreeBSD/i386 though.
